Visiting a beach is no longer hot. Here in Cemara Sewu beach, one of some beaches in Bantul Regency, you will discover a shady cool pine forest just next to the beach.
Cemara Sewu, derived from Javanese words which means "a thousand pines", although, actually the trees are more than 8,000, was opened for public on February 16, 2016 on 12 hectares of royal land, and it's entirely managed by local people, said Yana the chairman. And you will enter a fabulous green forest canopy before getting into a parking area, so this place is often used for a pre-wedding photoshoot.
Whether you wish to have a picnic with your friends, whole family or even your loved one, Cemara Sewu beach, which is still natural, can be a fantastic choice.
Moreover, if you love doing outbound or camping, the beach, with its facilities, such as bathrooms, a "Musholla" (a praying room), food stalls, a parking area, benches and gazebos will make your holiday perfect.
